- GAS-BURNER.

lo all whom it may concern Be it known that I, MINARD A. PossoNs, acitizen of the United States, residing at Cleveland, in the county ofOuyahoga and provide means forequalizing the deliveryof the gas 'to eachburner tube so that the pressure on the flames from each burner tube ispractically equal.

In the accompanying drawings-Figure 1 his a top plan View, partly insection of a burner embodying my invention. Fig.2 is a detachedperspective view of a portion of the burner, itbeing also shown partlyin section.

.This burner comprises a mixing or feeding tube ,1, from which extend aplurality of burner tubes 2 One end of these burner tubes is incommunication with the mixing tube 1 and the other ends of these tubesare connected by a cross-tube 3.

As is well understood by those skilled in ings 4 on the under sidethereof, so that the flames are directed downwardly;

My present improvement consists in roviding the mixing tube 1 withbafile-ri ges or projections 3, which serve to intercept the flow ofgas' and to direct it laterally into the tube located between thebaffle-ridges and the inlet end of the mixing tube. By reference to thedrawings it will be observed 4 Specification of Letters Patent.Application filed February 23, 1912 Serial No. 679,844.

Patented J u ly 16,1912.

that there is a battle-projection 3 between each pair, or each twoburner tubes 2, which location effects theresult above stated; Theequalization of pressure and flame in the burner tubes is furtherassisted by the crosstube 3, which connects the en s of the burner tubesthat are located away from the mixing tube 1. v

The battle ridges 3 are annular and extend entirely around the innercircumference of the mixing tube 1,'thus forming annular interiorbafile-ridges for the mixing tube.

- Having thus described my invention, what I claim and desire to secureby Letters Patent is: Y I V 1. An improved gas burner, comprising amixing tube, a plurality of burner tubes ex tending therefrom, theburner tubes and mixing tube having communicating passages, the mixingtube having an internal annular transversely arranged bafiie ridgelocated between the points of communication of each adjacent two ofsaidburner tube passages with said mixing tube passage, for the purposedescribed. .f a

2. An improved burner, comprising a mixing tube, a plurality of burnertubes projectin therefromand communicating therewith. themixing tubehaving an interna bafiie ridge between the communications of each twoburner tubes with the mixing tube,

and across tube establishing communication between the opposite ends 'ofthe burner tubes. r

In testimony whereofI hereuntoaflix my signature in the presence of twowitnesses.
